Abstract

The Front Cover shows the synthesis of one-dimensional ladder-like structures of dimethyltin carboxylates in an aqueous medium and highlights the role of chelating 2,2'-bipyridine to control the dimensionality in the presence of 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylate ligand. The structures reveal supramolecular assemblies formed by the inclusion of infinite water tapes [T4(0)A1] or the organic hydrate (bipy⋅6H2O). The study is a manifestation of reversible single crystal to single crystal structural transformation from P21/c to P212121 upon dehydration with conformational changes in the macrocycles. More information can be found in the Research Article by R. Shankar and co-workers.
